Hi, I'm Tristen Kary.

A software engineer from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Thank you for visiting.

About me.

I’m a developer who believes in the power of technology to connect people and solve meaningful problems.

Growing up in South Dakota may not be the usual backdrop for a career in tech, but the open spaces have always given me plenty of room to think. When I wasn’t out exploring nature, I was inside figuring out how to make my parents’ Dell desktop do more than it was probably meant to. That’s where it all started—tinkering, hosting game servers for friends, and eventually diving deep into programming.

I graduated with an Associate’s degree in Computer Science in 2020, and since then, I’ve been working as a software engineer, bringing that same curiosity and love for problem-solving to every project. When I’m not working, I’m usually outdoors, spending time with family, or finding new adventures with our dog.

About my work.

Empowerment

My work begins with empowering those around me. I combine leadership with technical involvement to build solutions that are adaptable and maintainable. Aligning people with the right technology ensures results that last and grow over time.

Collaboration

Open communication and shared goals are essential to solving complex challenges. Many obstacles are human, but solving technical problems thoughtfully is just as important. I enjoy building clarity and alignment through both code and conversation.

Craftsmanship

I approach my work with an eye for simplicity and efficiency. Clear thinking drives clean code, and every system I build should serve a purpose. I care about refining systems to be maintainable and effective, enjoying the process of creating elegant, lasting solutions.
